Paolo Luigi Mario Tullio (pronounced [pa.o.lo tul.ljo]; 1949 – 5 June 2015) was a writer and a Michelin star-winning head chef of the former restaurant Armstrong's Barn in Annamoe, County Wicklow.
Tullio came to Ireland in 1968 to study English, arts and philosophy at Trinity College, where he obtained an MA.
It was not a big hit so he held several other jobs to pay the bills such as acting as a voice-over artist for commercials.
The Michelin Guide awarded the restaurant the "Red M", indicating "good food at a reasonable price", in 1980 and 1981.
[5] Tullio married watercolour artist Susan Morley in 1975 after they met each other at Trinity College; they had two children, but separated in 2004.
